About Stephanie Watts

About Nicolas Shaidenfish I’m Nicolas — born in southern Israel and raised in Maryland since the age of six. I grew up in the Reisterstown area, graduated from Franklin High School, and am proud to call this community home. I speak Hebrew, Russian, and English, and enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds. Clear communication and trust are at the core of everything I do, because in real estate, it matters who you work with. My goal is to ensure every client feels informed, supported, and confident throughout the entire process. My passion for real estate began with a personal experience. When my family purchased our first home, we felt misrepresented, an experience that stayed with me and ultimately shaped the kind of agent I strive to be. Today, I advocate fiercely for my clients, always protecting their best interests and guiding them with honesty and transparency. Outside of real estate, you’ll find me swimming, traveling, or spending time with family and friends. I believe real estate is about relationships, not just transactions, and I look forward to learning your story and helping you take the next step toward homeownership.
